this week's onscreen style swipe

The scene: The morning after their tryst, Slevin (Hartnett) and Lindsey (Liu) discuss the perplexity of Slevin’s case of mistaken identity.

The style: While the sweater vest may have an unbecoming “preppy” stigma attached to it, rest assured that the garment can be worn with style. And Josh is certainly one gent who knows how to pull it off.

This outfit steals the scene with its fusing of different trends: layers, different patterns and bright color. Combined with a pair of brown slacks, the onscreen style is a little less frat boy and a lot more urban contemporary. Hartnett’s ensemble screams: former college boy meets suave, uptown man. It’s a great business-casual look that let’s you have fun with patterns and layers, and you’ll look smokin’ while you’re being chased by two of New York City’s biggest crime lords.

Paul Fredrick Diamond Textured Pullover

Don’t fear the sweater vest. Depending on how you wear it, you can actually look quite slick. Stay away from bulky, wool vests; opt instead for thin silk or cashmere ones as they’re best for layering. While Hartnett dons a spiffy crewneck sweater vest in this scene, this V-neck diamond-patterned sweater from Paul Fredrick achieves the same fashionable effect. Wear it to work with slacks, wear it to lunch with jeans — whatever your style decision, you can pull off the same sophisticated man-about-modern-town look.

Dolce & Gabbana Dress Shirt

This plaid button-down dress shirt from Dolce & Gabbana is perfect for sporting under your new Paul Fredrick vest. The sweater’s diamond motif coupled with the subtlety of the plaid in the shirt is a low-key — yet still fun — way to mix and match patterns. D&G dress shirts are always reliably slick, and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. If you’re going for a more casual flair outside of the office, try rolling up the sleeves twice on each side — you’ll achieve a modern organized-chaos look.
